RIP: Karl Kroeber 1926-2009

Literary scholar, Karl Kroeber passed away this morning. He was 82. Best known for his work with Native American literature, he was also English and comparative literature at Columbia University. Our condolences go out to his sister, Ursula K. Le Guin, and to all his family and friends.

He taught a wonderful alumni colloquium on American Indian literature which I’ll never forget. He was a devoted scholar and kind man.
